A young bride, excited for her special day, arrives at the church. Inside her husband-to-be awaits.
She has arrived early to give herself time to practice the vows she has written for her soulmate and she cannot wait to hear the vows that he has written especially for her.
And now that time has come!
She stands in front of the man she loves and listens to his vows……until —
“You agree to honour my command without hesitation.”
Her eyes widen in shock. No, she does not agree and she flees the church to save making a huge mistake.
I was challenged by Jessica's Quill (Medium Writer) to write a drabble of the word 'command'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for just over twelve months, when he receives a promotion at work. It is a fantastic career move for him but unfortunately it means he has to move to another state, five hundred kilometres away.

WORKOUT AT HOME
Title: The Home Gym Adventure Once upon a time, in a cozy little house on the corner of Maple Street, there lived a guy named Alex. Now, Alex wasn't your typical gym enthusiast. He was more of a couch potato, spending his evenings binge-watching his favorite TV shows and munching on chips.

Homegirl dodged a bullet! I can't imagine how her life would have been if he didn't include that in his vows. Lucky her!
Wow, a Drabble? I had never heard of it, but it is fascinating, and great job.
